Hello,
I've been reading the forums for a while but this is my first post. I am planning on upgrading my hi-fi set-up. Currently I have a a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100, and a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Two speakers connected in series with some Pioneer CS-545s. I can't find much info on the CS-545s, my dad bought them 25+ years ago. The amplifier is a Pioneer SA-510 which is slightly older than the speakers but still works great.
I have been looking at the Quad ESL 2905s, and B&W PM1s. The room they'll go in is only 3.5m by 4m. The music I listen to is progressive rock (Pink Floyd is my favorite), some metal, classical, folk, and psychadelic trance (Infected muchroom). I am not sure whether to buy the B&Ws or save for the QUADs, I'm not sure which amplifier would compliment them best and I don't know if I need to upgrade my DAC or not. I am open to suggestions for other speakers too. I haven't listened to either the Quads or the B&Ws yet, does anyone know somewhere in the South-West of England where I can demo them?
Cheers,
Tom
